This reminds me of an anecdote from Richard Feynman. The night he was awarded his Nobel Prize he was speaking with a princess of Denmark
She turned to me and said, "Oh! You're one of the Nobel-Prize-winners. In what field did you do your work?"
"In physics," I said.
"Oh. Well, nobody knows anything about that, so I guess we can't talk about it."
"On the contrary," I answered. "It's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics. It's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss. We can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance--gold transfers we can't talk about, because those are understood--so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!"
Anywho...
Not sure I am gong to survive my plans of finishing FSI, at least not in the way I usually do it. I'm going to make myself get through unit 7 this week (still review) and see how I am feeling for next week. Cavesa turned me on to Rype which looks really interesting. Part of me is considering signing up for a month, the other part of me tries to remember how insanely busy and unpredictable my life is right now. I really DO want to keep progressing in French, but I don't want to put the work in. Getting into a routine with a teacher could be fun. I think I am just digging for ways to review advanced grammar without having to try very hard, but I am not sure that exists.
Russian went from "I am having so much fun dabbling" to "I need to know that rest of this language NOW" very quickly this weekend when I realized I can't really read enough Russian for a proper web search. I don't know why that was surprising to me I really don't need them yet but I was looking for transcripts for мажор. I think that after I finish le russe à votre rythme book 1, I might do French to Russian Glossika.
In the process of poking around, I realized you can finally search Netflix itself by audio and subtitle language. Little late to the party, Netflix. A whole industry of websites has emerged in your total lack of effort to make your content properly searchable. You still can't place any filters over top of audio or subtitle language, you can't search for a combination of audio and subtitles even for a single language combination, and some of my search results were inaccurate, but hey. It's a start.
